California's sweeping restrictions on public gun possession are on hold again.
The new rules had taken effect on January 1, thanks to an adminstrative stay issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. But on Saturday, the appeals court dissolved that stay in May v. Bonta, allowing the preliminary injunction that U.S. District Judge Cormac Carney granted on December 20 to take effect. That means Californians with carry permits can now use them without risking prosecution for entering the state's newly created gun-free zones, which cover most public places.
